THE WOODLANDS — The 14th Annual Memorial Hermann In the Pink of Health Luncheon, scheduled for Oct. 10 at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott, is officially sold out.

The event - presented by Richie’s Specialty Pharmacy - is expecting one of the largest crowds to date, with more than 1,250 attendees.

“Once again, we are humbled by the support of our community, including our amazing sponsors led by Richie’s Specialty Pharmacy,” said event co-chair Melissa Preston.

In addition to Richie’s Specialty Pharmacy, CB&I is continuing its generous support as the Community Sponsor this year. Pink Diamond Sponsors are Adcetera, Tricia and Jack Futcher, Kendra Scott and Strike.

“We are so fortunate. Our sponsors not only support our fight against breast and ovarian cancer, but many also add exciting elements to the event,” co-chair Carrie Hyman said.

A highlight of this year’s luncheon is the “Kendra Scott Swag Station.” It will feature 250 surprise boxes. When attendees purchase a $100 ticket, they select a box and are guaranteed a gift of jewelry.

Another fun attraction is the “Tip2Toe Trendmaker Raffle.” Attendees purchase a $20 ticket (or six for $100) and place the stub in the box representing their desired “Tip2Toe” outfit - each valued at $1,200 or more. Participating boutiques are: Rare Trends, Etcetera, Elaine Turner, Calypso, Royal Street, Jonathan Blake, Trina Turk, Cakewalk and Kate Spade.

“Our famous auction will again feature awesome items,” Silent Auction chair Jodi Powell said said. “We are always thrilled by the ceaseless generosity of our community. Our fabulous array features sports, entertainment, home decor, beauty, vacations and more. We can’t wait to throw open the luncheon doors and reveal many surprises!”

Since its inception in 2001, In the Pink of Health has generated more than $2 million toward cutting-edge technology, which includes two Tomosynthesis Units for Memorial Hermann. Nearly $1 million more has helped support breast cancer patients and their families in The Woodlands and surrounding areas.

All of the money raised at this year’s luncheon will remain in Montgomery County and will provide free mammograms for underserved women, state-of-the-art diagnostic technology at Memorial Hermann’s Breast Care Center, educational materials for newly diagnosed breast and ovarian cancer patients, research and clinical trials, funding toward a resource center for cancer survivors and cancer survivors’ educational seminars.
